yeah. no one can come close to that. However, isnt there more than one 'ccya' guy at the tower? That isnt the same guy as the 'hasta la vista' guy is it? I seem to remember him having a more hispanic accent.

I'm sure Mike knows that, however you might be right Mike. Alot of guys in Towers and Tracons have inside jokes and sayings that they say to each other or pick up on just for the fact that alot of them talk amongst each other while on the job. I'll have to listen for more people saying Cyaaaa. That guy is a hoot, by far my favorite controller now.

Same guy (John) that gives the hasta la vistas (he once gave an Air France a "bon jour and bienvenue" on check in). Haven't heard him in the tower in a while, mostly just clearance/ground lately. He still manages to flirt with some of the female pilots early am though. He was on Skyways (Boston VFR/Helicopter traffic) a few months back and had a 5 minute conversation with a TV copter pilot named Heather about going to lunch. Guy is just plain fun to listen to.
